TaxAssist Accountants Horfield welcomes new owners

{TaxAssist Accountants Horfield welcomes new owners}

Awais Tariq and Yaseen Ismail have taken ownership of the practice at Horfield, Bristol BS7 8PD following its acquisition from long-standing owners Ian and Yvonne Smith.

Awais, an FCCA-qualified accountant and Yaseen, MAAT-qualified are joining the TaxAssist network by converting an existing practice and jointly purchasing the Horfield franchise. Together, they bring significant expertise and a strong commitment to client service.

With more than a decade of UK public practice experience, Awais specialises in tax planning, financial reporting and compliance. He also brings extensive experience in business development, operational improvement and driving profitability.

“I am eager to utilise my skills and passion for supporting clients at the Horfield practice,” Awais said. “Along with Yaseen, I look forward to meeting with clients and growing the practice further.”

Yaseen has nearly ten years’ experience in the accountancy sector, with wide-ranging skills in practice management, statutory accounts, VAT, PAYE, company and personal tax and compliance. He said, “Awais and I are committed to delivering a first-class service. Working with the TaxAssist team and brand is an ideal match, and we’re excited to support the 500 clients at the practice.”

Ian and Yvonne Smith will remain in the business for a transition period over the coming months, and in reflecting on their 19 years in the network, they shared their appreciation:

“We’d like to thank the whole team at the TaxAssist Support Centre for all your help, guidance and support. It has been a great experience and we’ve always felt expertly supported – we couldn’t have done it without you.”

Anyone interested in learning more about the services that TaxAssist Accountants Horfield provides can contact Awais and Yaseen for a free initial consultation. Services include accounts preparation, tax returns, payroll, bookkeeping, tax planning and wider business advisory and financial planning services.
